Chart Reading Curriculum

This is a guided reading path for learning to read charts, ordered from the ground up. If you want the full step-by-step lesson in one place, start with our main guide, How to Read Stock Charts. It walks through the axes, chart types, trend, support and resistance, volume, and a single confirming indicator, with a worked example chart at every step.

The guides below take that same foundation and go one layer deeper on each piece, in the order a beginner is best served learning them. Work through them top to bottom, or jump to the one that matches what you are stuck on. Each guide is self-contained and illustrated, so you can read a single concept without losing the thread of the whole.

Everything here is educational. Chart reading describes how price has behaved in the past and present; it does not predict the future or constitute financial advice.
